Coach White is successfully turning his stint as a North Carolina resident into a huge push to get the Top local Athletes to sign. For a state with this much talent year in and year out, it'll be tough for other Programs to come into the borders and make an impact.

The big signing of the week is QB Spencer Edwards out of West Augusta, GA. The ESPN U Top 150 prospect was also targeted by rivals Texas A&M and Clemson, but decided to don the Carolina Blue for the upcoming seasons.

The collection of local talent continues as this week Coach White is able to lock in Henderson, NC native and 5 Star TE Brandon Jones. Jones will be in the running to replace stud Senior TE Zack Pianalto, and he has the physical tools to step in from Day 1.

Nice recruiting class you got going UNC.

Thanks man, hoping to get a much better class going into next season. Best case scenario would be none of these guys see the field next season. Except for the TE.

The Heels go out of state this week, picking up a pair of Safeties, FS Steven Collins out of Louisiana and Massive 6'7" SS Greg Parker out of Tennessee. Not sure how good this kid will be in the long run, but his size alone is worth him seeing some decent field time.

Coach White finishes regular season recruiting with a solid class.
The fourteen Commitments break down with 1 Five Star, 9 Four Stars, and 4 Three Stars. Now all that's left is searching through the Post Season recruits to find a few extra Gems. We're hoping the State playoffs will reveal some prospects that were missed during the season.
